Cashew Crusted Chicken Fingers

These baked Cashew Crusted Chicken Fingers are perfect for a family friendly weeknight meal or a game day appetizer! They require just 6 ingredients and are ready in less than 30 minutes.

I went on an abrupt kind of hiatus there didn’t I? It totally was not intentional and in fact I had recipes lined up for dayz but everytime I sat down at my computer to write, nothing came to me. It’s in these moments that I realize I just need to respect the process and take a step back.

In theory I really shouldn’t have any trouble writing. Despite travelling to Banff (recap coming soon!) and the overwhelming craziness that is life, I have found myself with moments of downtime that should have allowed for me to stay on top of blogging. But that apparently was not enough to provide inspiration.

As I get older I am becoming far more aware of my internal battle to do more, while also accepting that sometimes less truly is more.

Less is more…Watch this short video to learn how to make these Baked Cashew Crusted Chicken Fingers!

Take these cashew crusted chicken fingers as an example. They’re made with just 6 ingredients and they really could not get more basic. They make an appearance on our weekly menu at least once a week and I often serve them with just a simple side salad and some roasted potaters. Sometimes less is more.

Or how about this post? It was scheduled to go live last week because I’m “supposed” to be posting 3-4 days a week. But life happened and I’m fairly certain that my lack of posting didn’t break the internet. Sometimes less is more.

And let’s take a second to acknowledge how uncharacteristically short this post is. I don’t “need” for posts to tell a full-length story filled with all of the details of my life. Because you guessed it, sometimes less is more.

Oh YUM. I made a similar version of these a while back but with almond meal and they were soooo good with sweet potato fries and avocado – my kinda comfort food.
Good to have you back 🙂Pip {Cherries & Chisme} recently posted…Rewind: June

these look wonderful, i wonder if i can try with almonds because i need to get rid of some of those. i dont have any stories to tell right now,,also i woke up late so should ideally be getting ready for work but here i am drooling at chicken. such is life 😛Dixya @ Food, Pleasure, and Health recently posted…25 Recipes for 4th of July

Yup! No problemo on the almond meal. I’ve made em’ with both cashew and almond meal and both are equally delicious 🙂 Hope you got to work on time but I don’t blame you for wanting to stare at these instead lol

I’ve made something similar and my whole family appreciates it for a grain free “breaded” option. I’m a cashew fan and will definitely try it this way 🙂Michele @ paleorunningmomma recently posted…Maple Citrus Fruit Salad – Low FODMAP

Healthy fried chicken fingers? Yes, please! My husband would LOVE these, as would I. And when it comes to ingredients in a recipe, I always go with the “less is more” approach. Thanks for sharing, Davida! 🙂Ashley @ A Lady Goes West recently posted…How to learn Les Mills group fitness releases

It’s so true, sometimes less is more and honestly Davida even your most simplest of posts end up being a great read/delicious recipe. These cashew crusted chicken fingers could not be more simple and I could not be more in love with them! Pinning and making asap!

I went on a blogging hiatus a couple weeks ago and although I’m back to posting, it isn’t with the same frequency as before. I’m pretty sure it’s because I actually get outside and LIVE a lot more during the summer. But, whatever the reason, I’ve really enjoyed the break.
Also, need these chicken fingers in my life 😀GiselleR @ Diary of an ExSloth recently posted…Manitoba Harvest Hemp Heart Bites Giveaway + WIAW

Remind me to talk to you about the feeling over being overwhelmed and totally kind of shutting down because of it. I do the same thing. I also once dated a boy in HS for like, a month, who only ate chicken fingers. Gah, can you imagine me doing that now?Cassie @ Almost Getting it Together recently posted…Yoga for Runners – Christine Bullockâs Fave Five Poses for Runners

WHAT? I need to hear more about this story. Also I need to talk to you ASAP. It’s actually getting ridiculous and entirely my fault. If only less is more applied to paying my bills 🙁 Need to chat soon!

How dare you not write a full story for us and recap every moment of your day. Who do you think you are?

Hi. Not going to lie, I’ve noticed these beauties next to cauliflower and potatoes and it’s about time you shared it. Also, cumin. Hi cumin.Arman @ thebigmansworld recently posted…Healthy No Bake Ferrero Rocher Bites

I’m stumbling across your blog and it’s basically love at first sight! I have a new born that is sensitive to dairy and we’re breastfeeding. It gets tough trying to come up with dairy free meals that the rest of the family will love too. Can’t wait to try these! Ten bucks says my picky 2 year old will even like them!

Hi!! Awesome post, thank you for sharing! The video was super helpful, too! Do you think the consistency would work with whole wheat flour? Have only that and oats I could grind into flour but really want to make this tonight! Thanks! Xoxo

These look SO good! I never know what to do with chicken and I’m SO bored with plain baked chicken breast. These are definitely going into the cooking rotation!Natalie @muffinsandmiles recently posted…Blueberry Chia Jam
